In this action thriller, acclaimed filmmaker Michael Mann
directs Johnny Depp, Christian Bale, and Marion Cotillard
in the story of legendary Depression era outlaw John Dillinger
(Depp). Dillinger was a charismatic bank robber whose exploits
made him the number one target of J. Edgar Hoovers fledgling
FBI and a folk hero to much of the public. No one could stop
Dilllinger and his gang and no jail could hold him. His charm
and audacious jailbreaks endeared him to almost everyone,
from his girlfriend Billie Frechette (Cotillard) to an American
public who had no sympathy for the banks that had plunged
the country into the Great Depression. But while the adventures
of Dillingers gang thrilled many, Hoover hit on the idea of
exploiting the outlaws capture to elevate the FBI. He sent
in his top agent, the dashing Melvin Purvis (Bale), the Clark
Gable of the FBI to capture John Dillinger - public enemy
number one. Also starring Giovanni Ribisi, Stephen Graham
and Billy Crudup. 143 min.

two and her parents decide to conceive Anna in order to save

but to do whatever it takes to keep Kate alive. Kate and Anna
share a bond closer than most sisters: though Kate is older,

on Anna. This provocative film reveals surprising truths that
